There’s no car we know less about on this list than the LF-R and that’s exactly what may make it the most intriguing entry. There have been rumors about the hybrid sports car dating back to 2022, when Lexus’s parent company, Toyota, showed off a sporty prototype called the GR GT3 concept at the Tokyo Auto Salon. At the time there were whispers that an eventual production version could be the spiritual successor to the legendary Lexus LFA and they’ve only gotten louder in the years since. Little is known about the car at this point, other than that there is a strong belief that it will feature an electrified 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-8 that makes around 1,000 hp. Luckily we won’t have to wait much longer. The car is expected to make its debut, and maybe even go on sale, sometime this year.
